A discussion of all things beer from one beer snob in Westbrook, Maine.
This beer snob will drink a bud if its $3.00 a pitcher but definitely prefers his microbrews.
The Portland, Maine area has like 7 microbreweries.. its pretty great.
The Great Lost Bear is also a great beer bar... It is from here many of my posts will originate...
Feel free to comment and recommend beers you really like.

May Day

Wife thought I should explain the ratings again so here is an excerpt from my book.. the blog for it is http://nofilterbook.blogspot.com ...

Tim thanked the gentleman and kept going. He gave the Porter a 90 and the IPA a 92, on the Wine Specatator/Cigar Afficiando scale, 90-95 being excellent, 95-100 superb, 85-89 very good, 80-85 good, 76-80 above average, 70-75 average, 65-69 fair, 61-65 not good, under 60 horrible…. He didn’t think there would be too much under the 80 range today… for Tim a bud might be a 72, a coors a 76, a Guinness a 92, 95 in Britain, he hoped to find some beers he would be happy to get in the 94+ range, such beers were rare and wonderful.
